1. Asphyxiation is a hazard posed by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles and can be detected when you notice

Smell of Mercaptan will allow us to detect the Compressed natural gas. The smell is similar to the LPG used in our homes for cooking.

Explanation:

Compressed natural gas is heavier than air and tends to settle down near the ground. In case there is a leakage of CNG the air near the ground surface will be displaced and get filled with CNG. This may result in aphyxiation i.e. lack of oxygen in enclosed places.

CNG is odorless and cannot be detected by smell. In order to make the detection possible, a small amount of mercaptan is added to CNG so that its smell is easily detected.

In a much smaller model of the Gizmo apparatus, a 5 kg mass drops 86 mm (0.086 m) and raises the temperature of 1 gram of water

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The amount of energy transferred to the water is 4.214 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the object that drops = 5 kg

The height from which it drops = 86 mm (0.086 m)

The potential energy P.E. is given by the following formula

P.E = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the object = 5 kg

g = The acceleration de to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which the object is dropped = 0.086 m

Therefore;

P.E. = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.086 m = 4.214 J

Given that the potential energy is converted into heat energy, that raises the 1 g of water by 1°C, we have;

The amount of energy transferred to the water = The potential energy, P.E. = 4.214 J.

A 60-cm-high, 40-cm-diameter cylindrical water tank is being transported on a level road. The highest acceleration anticipated i

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$h_{max} = 51.8 cm$

Explanation:

given data:

height of tank = 60cm

diameter of tank =40cm

accelration = 4 m/s2

suppose x- axis - direction of motion

z -axis - vertical direction

$\theta$ = water surface angle with horizontal surface

$a_x =$ accelration in x direction

$a_z =$ accelration in z direction

slope in xz plane is

$tan\theta = \frac{a_x}{g +a_z}$

$tan\theta = \frac{4}{9.81+0}$

$tan\theta =0.4077$

the maximum height of water surface at mid of inclination is

$\Delta h = \frac{d}{2} tan\theta$

$=\frac{0.4}{2}0.4077$

$\Delta h 0.082 cm$

the maximu height of wwater to avoid spilling is

$h_{max} = h_{tank} -\Delta h$

= 60 - 8.2

$h_{max} = 51.8 cm$

the height requird if no spill water is $h_{max} = 51.8 cm$
